Cardboard-Only Bins for Business

Flattened cardboard in its own bin cuts general waste costs. See which bin size to choose and how many lifts to start with.

Cardboard-Only Bins for Business

Separating cardboard is the fastest way to cut general waste costs.

Sizes

  • 240L/360L: Light retail or office deliveries.
  • 660L/1100L: Most retail back rooms; flatten every box.
  • Front-lift 1.5m3/3.0m3: Warehouses and high-volume sites; fewer lifts needed.

Scheduling

  • Start with 1-2 lifts weekly; adjust after two weeks based on fullness.
  • If bins stay under 60% full, drop a lift; if over 80%, add a lift before upsizing.

Rules to avoid issues

  • Flatten boxes; keep food and liquids out.
  • Keep lids down to stop rain adding weight.
  • Pair with commingled and general so staff have the right stream nearby.

Need a cardboard plan? Contact with delivery days and bin photos. We will set sizes and lifts to lower your waste spend.
